Star Trek 4 is the kind of film that is apparently about to return to the development swing. Over the years, we will continue to hear the occasional update or a new change in creative leadership, and fans will be excited again at the perspective of another Star Trek Film that will close the restart universe and finish things on a happy note.
But with almost ten years between the last film and this proposed final entrance, it is time to admit that Star Trek 4 Better, never to be done at all.
Kelvinverse is cooked
Star Trek Hit the Cineplex in 2009 and reconstituted the dormant franchise by injecting it from the brand of hyperkinetic action show by JJ Abrams. More than a decade withdrawn from this film, we had a whole new duration of Star Trek shows. Even if some of them were inspired by the aesthetics of KelvinverseThey cut their own identity and established more new directions for the franchise.
Star Trek 4 feels an old hat at this stage. THE Kelvinverse was an attempt to restart the franchise for new viewers. But with the success of projects as Star Trek: Lower discsthe third season of Star Trek: PicardOr Star Trek: Strange new worlds Fishing for long -standing fans and also finding new ones, it does not seem that there is a huge contingency complaint for more exploration in the restart world. What else is to explore with this particular vision of property? With so much time since the last entry, the Star Trek franchise has passed Star Trek 4 And continued to move forward. Going back does not make much sense.
There is already a solid shipment
Star Trek 4 is positioned as the shipment provided for restarting and Kelvinverse. However, Star Trek beyond It actually looks like a decent final mission for this crew. Obviously, it is not supposed to be, but it ends on the right note with everyone together while they are looking at the construction of the new A-business.
Unfortunately, Anton Yelchin’s death has also hung up Star Trek beyond While he died after filming the film. The last scene with the whole crew together and toast in the absence friends Also seems to act as a farewell to Yelchin. With its inevitable absence in Star Trek 4It is much more logical to have Star Trek beyond Be the last outing of this crew.
Failure is an option
Probably the biggest reason to avoid Star Trek 4 Having done himself is simply that he has a real chance of failing in several ways. Of course, it could end up being an unsatisfactory story and leaving the Kelvinverse crew with a poor journey. Frankly, they already have a huge lack with Star Trek in darknessAnd another film at this level of quality would be horrible.
The other large and same probable failure for Star Trek 4 is at the box office. Each entry of the Kelvinverse series has done less and less at the national box office. It does not seem that the regular public is enthusiastic about the idea of Star Trek in the cinema. The base of fans is locked in the streaming The series, but that does not seem to result in a successful success at the box office. And the last thing that the franchise needs from the point of view of perception is a big flop.
Would it be great if Star Trek 4 Have you been done and was wonderful? Of course! But the chances are so strongly stacked against her. Better to leave things as they are and turn to the future of the franchise.
